The NYTFT has gone all in on “a new era of conservatism” with this article.

First, they directly compare tech bro billionaires flocking to bend the knee to Trump to the “surge in support for social justice causes” after the killing of George Floyd by police. Nothing problematic about that comparison, right?

Later, they quote a “top banker” as saying, “We can say ‘r*tard’ and ‘p*ssy’ without fear of getting cancelled … it’s a new dawn.”

I know the NYTFT has always been conservative, but this together with the way the Washington Post has been cosying up to Trump, says a lot about where the US is headed.

Edit: wrong acronym

          Good point. Showing how white I am that I briefly lapsed on that bouncing between this and making dinner.

            It’s okay, it’s hard to keep a perfect record of the atrocities of mankind. I was hoping to get through life without having to personally experience one!
